How To Clean Your AR-15

Kyle Defoor’s teaching methodology is second to none. He takes what he learned as an assaulter in the SEAL Teams and breaks it down for us to learn.

There are a lot of instructors out there and videos on YouTube explaining how to clean and maintain your AR15 rifle, but how reputable are they? Kyle is one of those guys that walks the walk and talks the talk.

Take a look at the following video to see what Kyle recommends for cleaning your AR15 platform.

 

This is the best way to lube while completely loaded as well. After shooting approximately 5-6 rounds the lube will be spread to all the internal parts properly.

There are numerous pre-assembled cleaning kits available for the AR15, which can be overwhelming if you’re unsure of your specific needs. These kits range from comprehensive armorer kits to basic sets consisting of a rod and brush, commonly issued to the military.

The drawback of purchasing a pre-made rifle cleaning kit is that they tend to be universal, meaning they include various extra brushes, patches, and tools that you may never actually use.

To address this issue, Wheeler Engineering has developed the ideal AR15 cleaning kit. The Wheeler Compact Tactical Rifle Kit provides everything you require without any unnecessary extras.

This compact kit reminds me of the purpose-built kits I used during my time in the Marine Corps. It’s perfect for conveniently stowing in your range bag and utilizing for quick cleaning and maintenance while at the range or out in the field.
